Du plomb dans l'aile

[Lionel Mercier]

Hello All
Following the "Mantaray" path, but one wing with more lenght (rear wing on picture)
I project using this wing in order to represent the nose of Concorde (remind the mach2 civil airplane)
But a bad crack...I didn't could save the bottom long wing (must use the top one) and the opening of the box was made...
Thus, we flip the project, and this is a box "palombe qui a du plomb dans l'aile" pigeon wih lead shot in the wing (because the profile and the worms holes) If not, would it be "Concorde vs flak"
Chessnut, 140/115mm, 45mm high, bone lid, opening 28mm. Gunstock oil.
So long...
Lionel

Lionel, Very cool picture presentation of your creation! It looks like it is flying! What is the white on top?

Very nice work Lionel! Pretty wood - great job on the curve! I also like the color/texture contrast between the bone lid and the chestnut! Very nice work! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Jeff,
The white cap is the bone lid,
just from a marrow bone, two satisfactions from this...:)
